AMERICAN CREEK.-Peter Beamer,
Robert Himmelspak and Chinaman
came out from American creek last
Friday on snow shoes. Made the trip
in fifteen hours and were exhausted
when they reached Mt. Idaho. Report
snow from four feet to an unknown
depth on the Melnor trail. All hands
wintered well. Peter wants to con-
tract with the prairie farmers to supply
them with cabbage this summer; says
that Robert and Joseph Himmelspak
can't be beat raising cabbage. Robert
is the bob-tailed dog who watches the
garden and keeps the squirrels away.
Peter says the Lewiston company will
have plenty of water this year.

RAILROAD BOOM!
Surveys To BE Made From
The South and East This Sum-
mer Across Camas Prairie.
ON TO LEWISTON I!

Last July there arrived here party
of gentlemen in the employ of the
Union Pacific railroad company who
had been sent out to make report of
the resources of the country between
Weiser city and Lewiston in the event
of railroad construction between the
two points. The party came to the
prairie by way of the Little Salmon,
and made SO favorable a report upon
the productive capacity of the country
that survey was ordered forthwith,
and the surveyors were kept at work
so late in the season that the initial
survey of the route was pushed nearly
to the summit of the divide between
the Weiser and Little Salmon before
the snow drove them out of the mount-
aims. And now comes information that
Mr.. Clark, the engineer who located the
Oregon short line and subsequently
made the survey of the Snake river
canyon above Lewiston, has been or
dered to Weiser city to hasten the sur
yey and locate the route. 1t is evident
that the line must necessarily be built
down to the mouth of the Little Salmon
and that it will cross the main Salmon
at the most feasible point and then
ascend to the prairie by the White
Bird or Rocky canyon approaches. and
continue on across the reservation and
in all probability approach the Clear
water by way of Lapwai creek. This,
however, is a matter of small import
ance compared to the one great fact
which shines out with all the brilliance
of an elecrtic light that Camas prairie
has at last brighter prospect than she
ever had before of speedily obtaining
rapid transit communication with the
outside world.

COURT ADJoURNED.-A letter to the
editor from Judge Buck received too
late for publication last week, announ-
ced that owing to the impossibility of
crossing the mountain and after consult
alton he had decided to adjourn the
March term of court in this county.
There will therefore be no session of
district court in this county until the
first Thursday in September. There
are only two cases on the calendar and
the taxpayers won't kick at having
the term adjourned.

BEEcHER.-The death of Henry Ward
Beecher caused sorrow throughout the
land. His efforts for the slave in the
old time. his patriotism in the war, his
advocacy of temperance and the enfran-
chi7ement of women will never be
forgotten. The tongue of SANDER as
sailed his name and christian character
and dragged him through the mire at a
time when he was at the pinnacle of
his fame, but he arose triumphant and
regained the full confidence of the
people and did much good for humanity.

BLOCKADE BRoKEN.-In classic YER
nacular the blockad on Craig's mount
ain is "busted wide open." All the
accumulated mail matter arrived Friday
and Saturday, and passengers have ar
rived every day since. There has nat
urally been much grumbling, but all
will admit that Mr.. Brown did every
thing that could be done to maintain
communication, and that the combi-
nation of circumstances of heavy winds
and deep dry snow which closed the
road were impossible to foresee, and
as they never occurred before, so they
are not liable to happen again.

SUDDEN DEATH.-A crowd of the old
timers held high carnival at the pou-
mecq store on Salmon river, and as a
result, Harry Wolfe was killed. Deceas-
ed had been drinking China whisky
pretty freely and started on horseback
for his home below the mouth of White
Bird, and was found on the trail next
morning with his head stove in. He
was taken back to the store and the
head dressed, and the crowd continued
the carouse. Wolfe was sensible, and
laughed at the mishap, and he kept on
filing himself with whisky so that he
was stupified with liquor when DR..
Bibby appeared. The doctor took thir-
teen pieces of bone from the brain,
dressed the wound and left him. He
died soon after. 1t is supposed that he
fell from the horse, and that the horse
then stumb bled and fell on him in such
way as to crush in the skull with the
horn of the saddle. The animal has
not been seen since. Wolfe was born
near Berlin about fifty years ago.
